GENERAL LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS.

POT ATOE S. —Continued. 



King of the Roses. We have thoroughly tested this 

 new seedling on many different soils, and find it to withstand 

 sudden wide changes of weather, excessive moisture and 

 extreme drouth, better than any other of the Rose family; 

 hence we deem it entirely worthy the title, " King of the 

 Roses." It produces much heavier crops of fine, large, 

 handsome tubers of excellent quality than any other sort, 

 ripening with Early Rose and Early Vermont. It is a strong, 

 rapid grower, standing up well during season of cultivation, 

 but when fully developed the vines cover the ground almost 

 completely, and so protect it from the hot sun. Tubers large, 

 oval-oblong, light pink like Early Rose. The heaviest yielder 

 of the Rose class. Lb , 75 cts.; pk., $1.25; bush., $4 50. 



Hopeful. This new variety attracts attention by the 

 beautiful, clean, bright tubers, whose form, size and color 

 seem almost perfect. We have tested it fairly among others 

 with ordinary field culture, planting the finest tubers each of 

 the last three seasons with gratifying results; since it produced 

 the finest appearing tubers in our cellars, so uniformly large, 

 smooth and white, with good, strong eyes, which are few in 

 number, and set almost even with the surface except at seed 

 end. It is an excellent keeper, and we believe market 

 gardeners should try it for late market, since its large, leafy 

 vines stand up strong and high thus permitting thorough 

 late culture, even in narrow rows, and enabling it to resist 

 blight and rot on richest garden soil remarkably well Its 

 handsome appearance will sell it. Lb, 75 cts.; pk., $1/0; 

 bush., $5. 



Ohio Junior. Almost identical with the Early Ohio
